-Thank you!  I hope everyone caught the jokes.  Of course, I snuck C3PO in there and my wife came up with the reference to Data for me.  Her favorite ST:NG joke is the bit about him being "fully functional".  (Luckily, she likes goofy guys with big noses, since she thinks I bear a passing resemblance to Mr. Spiner.) --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 07:47, 14 Oct 2004 (EDT)

		+	hey there! question: i tried turning "mechanauts" into an active link as i have now phantomed "mechanaut". however, by putting the double [] around "mechanauts" i have created a NEW phantom that is not attached/directed to "mechanaut" simply because of the plural "s". Now, I know this can be done... what's the trick? Also, Carl Kapek is an "obscure reference"??? I didn't think it was "obscure" but if it is, thanks for bringing him into this fine tome of encyclopedic knowledge, maybe someone will actually learn something! :) --[[User:Nikos of Ant\|Nikos of Ant]] 10:35, 17 May 2005 (EDT)

−	I may be the pot blackguarding the kettle here, but I think that the references to Karel Capek, Ford, and General Motors are just too in-your-face and should be replaced with something less explicit. Encyclopedants, what say you? --[[User:Jcowan\|Jcowan]] 23:46, 6 Oct 2004 (EDT)

−	I agree. This is too close to "Earth parody" for me - see the discussion "Alternate Reality vs. Fictional World" on the [[Lexicon discussion]]. I admit, we're breaching into grey areas here: what with Sean's HANDBAG and the whole "Speedish Chef" / "BORK" thing, but blatant FORD/GM connotations, especially in regards to competing companies and mechanical automatims, are too much for me. Thoughts? --[[User:Morbus Iff\|Morbus Iff]] 00:35, 7 Oct 2004 (EDT)

	Right, the names are changed. One of them happens to be an actual corporation acronym, but that was totally accidental. Sorry for all the extra copyediting work on this one, but I was actually getting work done at work for a change! I hope the rest of the jokes aren't too heavy-handed. --[[User:PhineasCrank\|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 07:30, 7 Oct 2004 (EDT)		Right, the names are changed.
